(HOUSTON) — Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated a lawsuit former Bellaire High School baseball star Robbie Tolan filed against the police officer who shot him back in 2008, his supporters are calling for a federal trial.

Tolan spoke publicly Monday — the first time since the high court issued it’s unanimous decision. Tolan said the decision is historic.

“This is bigger than Trayvon Martin. This is bigger than George Davis,” he said.
